STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 685,040, dated October22, 1901.

Application filed December 17,1900. Serial No.'40,153. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JEFFERSON GARY, a citizen of the United States,residing at St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Stoves, of which the followinglis a full,clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accom panyin gdrawings, forming a part hereof.

My invention has relation to improvements 1o in heating and cookingstoves and it consists in the novel arrangement and combination of partsmore fully set forth in the specification and pointed out in the claims.

Y In the drawings, Figure 1 is a top plan of the stove with two of thelids removed. Fig. 2 is a top plan with the top of the stove and thewater-tank removed. Fig. 3 is a side sectional elevation on line 3 3 ofFig. 1. Fig. 4 is a rear elevation with the rear wall removed. Fig. 5 isa front elevation; and Fig. 6 is a horizontal section on line 6 6 ofFig. 3, taken below the bottom of the oven.

The object of my invention is to construct a vapor-burning heating andcooking stove which can be brought to the desired temperature in aminimum amount of time, one which will develop a maximum degree ofefficiency for the quantity of fuel consumed, one which will be cheap inconstruction and durable, one which can be readily taken apart forcleaning purposes, and one possessing further and other advantagesbetter apparent from a detailed description thereof, which is asfollows:

Referring to the drawings, 1 represents the body portion or outerIcasing having a preferably dat top, beneath which is disposed at asuitable distance the top of the oven 2, the latter being so disposedvwithin the casing that the products from the fire-chamber 3 cancirculate in front, beneath, to one side, and in the rear of said oven.The fire chamber or pot 3 is supplied with fuel through the gas-pipe 4,the chamber having a lateral extension 3', which the pipe 4 enters, andwhere upon the opening of the cock 5 the gas may be ignited shouldoccasion demand the use of such extension for broiling or otherpurposes. The bottom of the fire-chamber 3 is controlled by a hingeddamper 6, operated from the outside of the casing by a handle or arm 7,se-

-cured to the pivotal axis of` said damper.

Disposed about the top of the outer wall of the oven are the curveddeecting plates or lwalls 8 8, between which is formed a iiue whichleads to the chamber 9, included between one of the side walls of theoven and the adjacent wall of the casing. chamber 9 are disposed aseries of V-shaped deflecting-plates 10 10', one beneath the other, thelower set being provided with a central opening 11, the outer ends ofthe plates terminating at the front and rear walls of the oven,respectively, the apex of the upper dellecting-plate 10 beingsubstantially opposite the middle of the discharge end of the due formedbetween the walls 8 8. Below the set 10 is a plate 12, the bottom wallof the chamber 9, directly beneath the plate 12, being provided with anopening 13, communicating directly with the passage 13 of the iiuesformed by the series of deflecting-plates 14 l5 16 17 beneath the bottomwall of the oven and to the rear of the lower extension of the frontwall thereof. The discharge end of the dues just mentioned opens intothe rear chamber 18, formed between the rear wall of the oven and therear Wall of the casing-said chamberl 18 being provided with a series ofoverlapping deliecting plates 19, the discharge end of the liues formedAthereby opening directly into the exit-flue 20, secured to the bottom ofthe water-tank 2l, resting on top of the casing and partiallyoverlapping the upper edge of the rear plate 8, so as to derive aportion of the heat from the products passing between the 'plates 8 8.The forward end ot' the due formed between the plates 8 8 opens into thefire-pot above and to one side of the damper-opening 6', formed in thepartition 26, such open end being controlled by a hinged damper 22,operated by an arm 23, disposed on the outside of the casing and securedto the pivotal axis of such valve. When the damper 22is closed, as shownby full lines in Fig. 3, the products of combustion pass downwardthrough opening 6 along the front of the oven, as shown In this by theplain arrows, circulating below the oven, (see Fig. 6,) thence passingdirectly upward through chamber 18 and out through the exit-due 20.XVhen the damper 6 is closed, as shown by dotted position in Fig. 3, anddamper 22 open, then the products take the path of the feathered arrows,passing between the plates S 8, down the chamber 9, thence upwardthrough chamber 18, as before. In the former case the products pass infront, beneath, and to the rear of the oven. In the latter case theypass above, to one side, and to the rear of the oven. Thus it is thatthe oven may be heated in any manner, according to the requirements ofthe service it is to perform. The stove is thus both a heater andcooker. When both dampers are open, the products may circulatepromiscuously, accordingto the draft. Leading to the chamber beneath theoven :is a damper-plate 22/ for admitting air to cool the parts, ifnecessary. The front of the water-tank is provided with a ledge 2l' fordishes and the like. 24 represents the handle of the oven-door. The sidewalls of the casing are connected to the rear wall by grooves 25, formedin the opposite edges of the latter, so that the rear wall can bewithdrawn and the interior of the casing made accessible for cleaningpurposes.

It is of course apparent that the details may be departed from withoutaffecting the spirit of my invention.

By following the products of combustion, as indicated by the arrows inthe several views, it will be seen that the oven-Walls and` the severaldeiiecting plates or partitions heretofore referred to form a flue infront of,` above, at one side, on the bottom, and in the rear of theoven, the re chamber being. formed by the partitions 2G 27, extendingibetween the outer casing and oven, the par` tition 27 having an opening2S, controlled by damper 22, providing communication be-1 tween theire-chamberand top due. The topfl Hue has an opening 29 communicatingwith the side fine.

The side ue has an opening 30 communicating with the bottom Hue.

The1

bottom flue has an opening 31 communicat-` ing with `the rear flue. ,Thepartition 2G has; an opening G leading to the front Hue, and the latterhas an opening 32 communicating with the bottom fine, the dampers 6 and22 controlling the openings from the fire-chamber, as already indicated,and the casing be-` ing provided with an outlet 20 from the rear flue.
